I did "track down the original sources" and Stuart Turner never mentioned RE6 in his entire interview with MCV UK.
He was strictly talking about Operation Raccoon City and certain sites like GameSpot or GamingBolt misquoted Turner out of context.
Nobody on Capcom has ever said they wanted RE6 to "attract Call of Duty fans".
Here's the
source interview and not a "mirror" site:
The quote that kept being copy/pasted around is on the bottom left of the page.
You can see that he's strictly talking about Operation Raccoon City.
There is no mention of RE6 in the entire article.
Capcom was financially healthy, at least around the time people started acting like Capcom was on its last leg (2014).
The "$152 million" was actually Capcom's net cash, which is somehow misinterpreted as "money left in bank" for some reason.
You can't just stop at one website for your news search.
You gotta keep following the trail until you reach the actual source and not just mirror sites.
If you search for "RE6" + "Call Of Duty" then the first couple of results are usually clickbait.
I had to search deeper to get the original Stuart Turner interview.
It's also weird how the clickbait or mirror sites called him "Dave Turner".
